Notes
- = George Choeroboscus, Epimerismi in Psalmos 171.10; Adler also cites Lexicon Ambrosianum 503 and Anecdota Graeca (Cramer) 2.466.11. Both the adjective which is the headword and the perfect middle/passive participle which glosses it are feminine nominative singulars. The headword is quoted from Psalm 100.4 LXX, where it describes the psalmist's heart. All other attestations of this form of the adjective come from quotations, commentary and allusions to this passage. (For another form of it see sigma 530.)
